EL PASO, Texas -- University of Houston junior Michael Perras will represent the Cougars this weekend when he tees off at the Western Refining All-America Classic, starting Saturday morning at El Paso Country Club.
The tournament begins at 9 a.m. (CST) Saturday with the first 36 holes with the Final Round starting at 9 a.m. (CST) Sunday. The event is free and open to the public.
Perras is scheduled to start his day off No. 10 at 9:20 a.m. (CST) Saturday.
Perras earned the honor of competing in this prestigious tournament after earning PING All-America Honorable Mention honors during the 2015-16 season.
A year ago, he was named to both the PING All-Central Region and All-American Athletic Conference teams after leading the Cougars with a 71.62 average and 22 rounds of par or better.
He tied the school record with a 63 in the First Round of the HBU Husky Intercollegiate on Sept. 21, 2015, on the way to the first title of his collegiate career. Later in the season, he became the second Cougar in school history to record three straight rounds in the 60s in NCAA Regional play and captured the NCAA Franklin Regional individual championship.
This season, Perras ranks second on the team with a 71.33 scoring average and seven rounds of par or better.
Before beginning competition, Perras and the other student-athletes will take part in a pair of fun events on Friday at El Paso Country Club. Players will square off in the Titleist Long Drive contest beginning at 10 a.m. (CST), Friday, with the PING Putting contest following at 11 a.m. (CST).
